“The Mediterranean Sea is the most geopolitical sea, where more submarine cables, telecommunications cables and gas pipelines pass and Fincantieri's attention to the underwater domain aims first of all to develop protection systems for these critical infrastructures. We will produce smaller submarines, 9-meter and 3-meter manned and unmanned drones that will serve with the Italian Navy to define those critical infrastructure protection missions, but we will also develop these products for use in sectors as diverse as energy, seabed mineral exploration, aquaculture. The new technological products will only work if there are telecommunications systems that work underwater, where only the optical and acoustic propagate: we are working with companies in the sector to create underwater telecommunications networks that allow this ecosystem to develop”. As Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO of Fincantieriin his speech at the programmatic conference of Fratelli d'Italia.
